The coronavirus pandemic has proven to pose more than a health threat to populations across the world. In addition to taking the lives of tens of thousands of people and destabilising the world’s economies - COVID-19 has presented challenges to democratic regimes around the globe.
From President Donald Trump to Hungary’s Orban and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, political leaders and other people in positions of power have exploited the rampant chaos to concentrate power in their hands and debilitate the state organs designed to enforce democracy’s checks and balances.
From scrupulous court decisions to disenfranchisement and the oppression of vulnerable populations, injustices abound in the times of COVID-19, and the institutions that are supposed to prevent them are being steadily eroded.
